Description: Model ID VL-Z5S / Sharp Viewcam VL-Z5S - Camcorder - 800 Kpix - optical zoom: 10 x - Mini DV / When you're out on the set shooting your latest home movie classic, you need a camera that's ergonomic and easy to use. One like the Viewcam Z series. Whether shooting from a high ... more
Sharp Viewcam VL-Z5S ... angle, from a low angle, or at yourself, you'll love its full 225-degree swivel grip. Simply adjust the angle for a perfect frame every time. No more awkward shooting angles. No more sore wrists. Just the joy of easier-than-ever home movies.

On a conventional digital camera, the low luminance of the LCD makes images hard to see in strong light. The Viewcam Z solves this problem at a stroke. Its high transmissive advanced system LCD (incorporating innovative CG silicon technology) achieves high luminance and high definition, even under bright sunlight.

Don't worry if the action is taking place far away from where you are. You can catch it all - in vivid detail - with the Viewcam Z's powerful 10x optical and 500x digital zooms. Two handy modes make it easier than ever to film at night. The Slow Shutter Mode is perfect for capturing slow-moving or stable images. And the Night Lumi Mode adjusts the aperture to shoot bright objects in the dark.
